The current release of Gosset’s “Grand Rosé” non-vintage Brut is composed from a blend of fifty percent each of chardonnay and pinot noir, with eight percent of the pinot noir being still red wine to give the bottling its beautiful salmon color. The wine is from the base year of 2014 and includes ten percent reserve wines from the previous vintage. It was disgorged in 2019 after four years aging sur latte and finished with a dosage of eight grams per liter. The wine delivers a refined aromatic constellation of tangerine, watermelon, a hint of rhubarb, a beautiful base of chalky soil tones, fresh-baked bread and a topnote of rose petals. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a superb core, lovely mineral undertow, refined mousse and a long, zesty and impeccably balanced finish. As this is a non-malo wine, it has years and years of life still ahead of it, but the wine is drinking splendidly today.
